Question

The following trapezoid JKLM is translated by the rule (x - 2, y + 8). What are the coordinates for J'K'L'M'?

Answer 1

The coordinates of trapezoid vertices are:

• J(-7,-2);
• K(-4,-2);
• L(-2,-5);
• M(-9,-5).

The translation rule is

(x,y)→(x-2,y+8).

Then the image trapezoid vertices are:

• J'(-7-2,-2+8) that is J'(-9,6);
• K'(-4-2,-2+8) that is K'(-6,6);
• L'(-2-2,-5+8) that is L'(-4,3);
• M'(-9-2,-5+8) that is M'(-11,3)
